Please forgive the poor quality of this video; it’s one of the first doll diorama tutorials I ever created. That’s why I thought it wouldn’t hurt to repost about it today, since many of you probably haven’t even seen this one. You may have seen the finished chairs, though, as they appear in several scenes of my Romeo and Juliet stop-motion film. This chair may … Continue reading #ooak Renaissance chair tutorial @ ChellyWood.com #dollcollector #monsterhigh

Tutorial for #Sewing a Renaissance Doublet (Vest) for #Miniature #Dolls

This vest pattern was specifically designed to fit my World of Love doll (from Hasbro). However, I don’t doubt it would be easily adapted for dolls like Stacie (Barbie’s little sister), and small dollhouse dolls. I’m certain that it’s too small to fit Blythe or Momoko dolls, and I am also sure it’s too small for Skipper. Once again, if you enjoy my free patterns … Continue reading Tutorial for #Sewing a Renaissance Doublet (Vest) for #Miniature #Dolls
